Hello Ed!

thanks for telling me about your projects. The Mailart Olympix listing will read like so:

Mail Art Olympix. (Self Portraits, Artistamps and Manifestoes). 21.5 x 28 15.10.09. Catalogue. 4426 Island Highway South, Courtenay, BC, V9N 9T1 Canada

I'm not going to include the 'work' project because it's deadline is so close to the publish date ( April one 09) of the zine.

Cheers!

Ed, is it OK to distribute these listings otherwise?

[Ruud Janssen]

You could publish that all mail-interviews from the period 1996-2003 are now avaialable in bookform through LuLu. Just have a look at http://stores.lulu.com/iuoma for all the details.

Hi Ruud:

I think that that would be too much like an advertisement.

Cheers

[Ruud Janssen]

I agree. The only information I would send out is that about 1500 pages of hard work (it took me 6 years) are available. But you are right, looks like advertising.

[PJM]

It is definitely the sort of thing I would want to advertise if I was advertising!

Whoo hoo!
Always love to see another mail art zine hit the mailbox; will you be including artwork or any sort of articles?
Best of luck -- look forward to seeing it once it's out...

[PJM]

My current plan for the first issue is just listings, but who knows what the future might hold. Cost is the most prohibitive issue. I'd like to make it as close to FREE as possible, but what is possible, I do not yet know. Thanks for your interest!

Thanks so much for posting these, Ruud! I only have one issue (#11) and it is one of the few zines I have kept over the years. What ever became of it? I heard someone took it over after APO was done and then it soon collapsed... Perhaps I should research this and put it in NODE PAJOMO!
